Chapter 103: Dead legs, hurry up and run!

This move is called clean and swift.

Li Qinglan's face instantly showed several vivid, three-dimensional slap marks.

She was so frightened her legs went weak, she didn't dare even breathe.

A burning sting came from her face.

It felt like being cut by a knife.

She completely lost the fierce aura she had when she was shouting arrogantly just now.

This scene left all the young masters present dumbfounded.

Do women fight like this, striking so viciously?

Li Jiaci reacted, hurriedly giving Li Yihu a glance.

"Hold back a bit."

"How am I supposed to persuade this?"

Li Yihu shrank his neck and chuckled.

He didn't even kick her legs, which is already not bad!

Li Jiaci's eyes narrowed: "Just go if I tell you to, quit the nonsense!"

"Oh!"

Li Yihu went over unwillingly.

Just as he patted Wang Yingna's shoulder, that woman turned and glared at him fiercely.

"Get lost!"

"Sure, please go ahead!"

Li Yihu retreated backward with a grin, without hesitation.

At this moment, Li Qinglan still wanted to hide under the machine, after all, the business of the lumber mill depends entirely on whether these few machines run smoothly.

She was sure these people wouldn't dare touch the machines.

Seeing half her body already under the machine, Wang Yingna suddenly picked up a wooden board from the ground and smashed it directly onto the machine.

Bang!

The huge noise frightened Li Qinglan into collapsing limp on the ground.

Li Jiaci panicked.

"Huzi, what are you doing?"

"Go stop them!"

"This guy really dares to dismantle the machine!"

The lumber mill has only four machines in total.

Saying they are their lifeline is not an exaggeration.

Li Yihu never expected Wang Yingna to be this crazy.

He quickly nodded and led Zhao Chen and the others charging forward.

Wang Yingna happened to be bending over to pull Li Qinglan's leg.

Taking advantage of her momentary lack of defense, several people hoisted her up and ran.

Seeing this, Li Qinglan immediately popped out, scrambling toward the door.

Afraid that if she delayed even a second, that woman would catch up again.

"Damn legs, hurry up and run!"

Suddenly, a wooden board struck her back.

Li Qinglan fell to the ground like a dog eating feces.

And behind her.

"Li Qinglan, you're lucky today!"

"If you dare cause trouble again, I'll skin you and pull your tendons!"

"Don't believe me? Try it!"

Wang Yingna's voice gradually faded away.

They were locked in the office by Li Yihu and the others.

"Crazy!"

"Those who eat powder are all crazy!"

Li Qinglan got up and ran.

The factory restored order.

Li Jiaci carefully inspected the machine that had been beaten, ensuring it could still work normally, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The few workers building the temporary shed occasionally glanced his way.

Someone asked: "Did our boss really kill someone?"

Someone replied: "Who knows? That's just hearsay!"

Someone said: "Keep things stable these days, don't cause trouble!"

A split appeared inside the factory.

Li Qinglan's goal was achieved.

She just wanted to stir up chaos here.

Fortunately, reasonable people are in the majority.

Old Chen, hearing the discussion nearby, stood up and said: "You people, you believe every rumor; do you not know what kind of person our boss is? Are you lacking money, or are you lacking food?"

No, no, we were just talking casually!

Yeah, the wages here are much higher than outside, we're satisfied!

Everyone, hurry up and get to work!

A few gossiping workers muttered back resentfully.

……

Office.

Li Jiaci pushed the door open and came in, bringing Wang Yingna something to eat.

Still mad?

What am I angry about? I just feel distressed for you!

Wang Yingna shook her head.

She asked Li Jiaci, "Is the machine okay? I was so angry I lost my head back then; now thinking about it, I regret it terribly—how important that machine is to you guys!"

Don't worry, I've checked it—there's no big problem!

Li Jiaci said while helping her separate the chopsticks.

But Wang Yingna wasn't in a hurry to eat.

She's had her fill of anger.

Thinking about Li Qinglan's actions lately, even she, an outsider, was fuming—let alone Li Jiaci, the person involved.

Plus, there are Li Jiaci's several brothers who got implicated.

She knows better than anyone what it feels like to be wrongfully accused.

Because they have no parents, anyone can bully them siblings.

Whenever something goes missing, they're the first suspects; even if the house is turned upside down, and even though everyone knows they're innocent, they still endure endless scolding and bullying from the neighbors.

Wang Zhen carried luggage in both hands and had Wang Yingna on his back—either moving house or on the way to do so.

Having experienced the fickleness of the world from a young age, it instead sparked Wang Zhen's determination to stand on his own.

Having never known warmth, his methods are ruthless.

Step by step, he climbed from the lowest rung of society to his current position as a local overlord.

Wang Yingna has experienced these things herself, so she can deeply empathize with Li Jiaci's feelings.

She even feels that her own ordeal is nothing compared to what Li Jiaci has gone through.

This man bears the heavy burden of five brothers on his shoulders as he presses forward.

He finally managed to meet a woman he likes.

Moreover, she drained his blood, took his money, and subjected him to repeated betrayal and deceit.

Several times he almost lost his life.

Thinking of this, Wang Yingna felt like a bone stuck in her throat.

She couldn't think of what to say right now to comfort Li Jiaci.

Jiaci brother...

You treat me well, and I'll treat you well from now on!

Wang Yingna gently leaned against Li Jiaci's shoulder.

Feeling her voice choke up a little, Li Jiaci turned his head curiously and saw that this guy's eye sockets were all red.

What's wrong?

I feel distressed for you!

You have time to idle chatter—better spend it worrying about your brother!

Li Jiaci shoved the chopsticks into her hand.

Hurry up and eat!

……

Wang Yingna looked at him, speechless.

She secretly wondered if this person was missing a screw in his head.

Is being good to him not enough?

Wang Yingna held her bowl and ate, poking the vegetables inside into a mess.

I've already taken the initiative like this—what more do you want from me!

What are you muttering about?

Li Jiaci gave her a sideways glance.

None of your business!

Wang Yingna retorted angrily.

After the meal.

Li Jiaci skillfully helped her gather the bowls and chopsticks, then took them outside to wash.

Amid the splashing water sounds, he suddenly threw the bowl down, leaning on the sink's edge and fell into contemplation.

Li Qinglan does everything with a purpose.

What exactly is she trying to achieve with today's stunt?

It couldn't just be to get a beating, could it?

At night.

Several police cars suddenly pulled up at the entrance of the lumber mill.

Li Jiaci watched Lin Niansheng appear before him, and suddenly everything became clear.

As it turned out, this was Li Qinglan's purpose.

"Li Jiaci, I received a report from the public saying you intentionally harmed someone—come with us!"

Lin Niansheng held a flashlight, and the blinding white light shone onto Li Jiaci's face.

Behind him stood seven or eight Maozi, a dark mass.

"What are you still standing there for?"

"Cuff him and put him in the police car!"
